Copy and Paste Notes Field

[Bryan Waldrop]

I am using DFFS to “auto document” selections made in the form to the notes field by using the Set field value in rules.

At the completion of the form I would like to offer the user an option button the selects all of the notes and copies to clipboard for pasting into another system.

I have the button setup and appearing on the form ready to run the custom JS function.

<input id="btnNumber1" class="customBtn" type="button" value="Copy Notes" onclick="copytext()">

But I am not sure what the function copytext() would look like for Call_x0020_Notes?

Any ideas?

Found this clipboardjs
Looks promising but have still not been able to figure out how to pass field value to it.

I created a button associated with a function:

<input id="btnNumber1" class="customBtn" type="button" value="Copy Notes" onclick="copytext()">

It is easy enough to create a function placing the field value in a variable

function copytext(){
var notes = getFieldValue("Call_x0020_Notes");
}

I got the developer Zeno to comment that the imperative API would be the way to go.

clipboard.js / demo / function-target.html

But I am not sure what to do it with it.
Any ideas?

Ended up not using the clipboardjs. This worked for me.

//copytoclipboard
function copyNotesToClip()
		{
			
                        var txtNotes = getFieldValue('Call_x0020_Notes');
		
			if( window.clipboardData && window.clipboardData.setData ) {
			   window.clipboardData.setData("Text", txtNotes);
			}
		}

$(spjs.dffs.fields["Call_x0020_Notes"]).find('.ms-formbody').append("<button class='customBtn' onclick='copyNotesToClip();return false'>Copy Notes</button>");

I’m glad you figured it out – I have a bit to much at the moment so I’m falling behind on the follow-up.

Best regards,
